Surgical
Expertise... From Arthroplasty to Arthroscopy
In
many cases, a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure
can be
performed to relieve a painful joint condition. Arthroscopic surgery uses
advanced fiber optic lenses, microscopic cameras, and specialized
scoping devices. Unlike conventional "open" surgery, arthroscopic
surgery generally requires only a few tiny incisions, a few stitches,
and a few hours in the recovery room.
Very severe joint pain and disability may require total joint
replacement (TJR). In this procedure, an arthritic or damaged
joint, such as
a hip, knee, elbow, or shoulder, is surgically removed and replaced
with an artificial joint prosthesis. When performed by skilled
surgeons
like those at Lansing Orthopedic, P.C., TJR is one of the safest
and most successful types of surgery. In 96% of cases, surgery
is
complication-free and results in significant pain relief and
restoration of mobility.
